Can you double disk this model of powder measure (the one with the square reservoir) for dispensing larger quantities?

yes , in fact IIRC the dbl disk kit came along before the pro powder measure
i also have to state that the pro upgrade is usually inexpensive and works , between the wiper , the on and off and the knurled nuts ...well they're worthy upgrades in my humble opinion !!! ( everything but the teflon coating and i suppose one could do that at home if they was determined enough ! umm i wasnt :P )

It appears that you can I got this from the Lee websight: MICRO DISK

DOUBLE DISK KIT
Stack two disks to not only double the capacity,
but enable adjustment as fine as .1 to .2 grain. Over
13,000 loads easily calculated from the expanded
selection chart on reverse. Kit includes set of 4
extra disks, 2 hopper risers and screws.
Instructions for Insta llation
of the Dou ble Disk Kit
1 Install the spacers between the hopper and
casting as shown above, using the longer screws
provided.
2 Now you can install two (2) disks at a time.
If using different size cavities, always be certain
the smaller cavity is on the top next to the hopper.
Otherwise, the smaller hole will have a ledge to
retain some of the powder.
CAUTION Never use cavities with great difference in size as some of the powder could
leak past the cavity into the center opening of the disk. This will cause an overcharge.
The safe combinations are listed on the schedule.

Yes, but if you can, upgrade to the pro version. It is just a good bit better measure for such a small difference in cost.

the kit is about $12 and if you are doing rifle you need a rifle charging die that is about the same price and perhaps an extender to raise the measure if you are using other than Lee dies.

+2 on the Pro Auto disk upgrade! Micrometer charge bar is the SH*T!

+3 on the Pro Auto Disk or on the upgrade. I also agree the Micrometer is completely useless to me as I can't get it to meter correctly at all. I do have the old Micro Disk and that works well but not usable for stacking at all.
